Flower Hunting in Happy Valley

For the past ten years, Boston Conservancy have been visiting Happy Valley in January. This year, CREW (Custodians of Rare and Endangered Wildflowers) added 32 species of plants to the existing list. 222 species have been identified in this grassland and wetland which are to be proclaimed as a Nature Reserve in the Biodiversity Stewardship Programme. Christeen Grant took the flower and insect pictures. Crystelle Wilson joined us for a spot of birding and shares her photos too. Thank you Gordon and Bronwyn Wicks and John and Jean Campbell of Ivanhoe for the warm welcome.

Fantastic feast of flower photos and brilliant batch of birds too; I am blown away by the tenth outing to Happy Valley and congratulate all those who were there for helping celebrate this outstanding valuable record
